Organisations of all sizes, across all sectors are undergoing digital transformation to varying degrees. They are embracing digital technologies for improved business models, selling in new markets, with new products and moving into entirely new spaces.

These technologies, for all of their undoubted benefits, also carry risks and cybercriminals are anxious to exploit them. Cybercrime isn’t just reserved for large multinational organisations, every company operating across every sector is at risk. It’s no longer a question of if an organisation will be attacked, it’s when. Increasingly, the risk from Cybercrime in amplified by the regulatory focus whether from GDPR, the Central Bank of Ireland or the NIS directive.

The Grant Thornton Cyber Services team helps organisations defend against attacks, recover from them, minimise the damage caused and meet their regulatory obligations. Our team is one of the largest in the country and is made up of technical and subject matter experts who have deep practical experience of defending organisations against Cyber-attacks.
